JOHANNESBURG - As the Hawks continue their raid on the Gupta family compound in Saxonwold, there's still no official confirmation that family members have been arrested.

Officers swooped on the premises on Wednesday morning in northern Johannesburg.

Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi: "We can confirm that we are having an operation in Saxonwold, at the Gupta family compound, where our members are currently busy. We do not want to divulge more as to what is transpiring there due to the sensitivity of the operation."

The net seems to be closing on the controversial family, who have been implicated in a string of corruption and money laundering allegations.

It is being reported that a Gupta brother and a business associate have been arrested during this morning's operation.

The Gupta family has been linked to state capture involving the president, one of his sons, Duduzane, and a number of government ministers.

The State of Capture report revealed that the Saxonwold home was where the Gupta brothers summoned several ministers and other high ranking politicians.

Users responded to the video, expressing their anger and disgust. Some pointed out that the video is reminiscent of the social media post by estate agent Penny Sparrow in 2016 which referred to black people at the beach as 'monkeys'.
